Accordingly, Mr.. Harper repaired to
the depot at about ten minutes before the
time above stated, and entering the wait

"negro bucks and wenches" of the ''sauci-

however, caught by a couple of white men

This, however, was not the end. The news

The Lincoln Hearse Burned.

St. Louis, Feb. I0.-Besides the pecun-
larry loss which resulted last mis- hit from the
destruction Of Jesse Arnot's livery stable,
one loss was suffered which is irreparabIe.
The hearse in which the remains of the
martyred president Abraham Lincoln,
were conveyed 10 their last resting place,
was consumed in the flames. This hearse
was built by Arnot for that special purpose,
and since that day has never been out of
the building, he refused to have it profaned
by any meaner use after it had been thus
consecrated by the greatest and most hon
ored man of the country.

Wade, Burnes and Hatch yesterday and
to-day, it appears that the people of the
Springfield, St. Joseph and Hannibal dis
tricts have been greatly stirred up by the
fight over the Missouri judicial bill in the

cate a red-hot desire to move the state cap
ital from Jefferson City. Hundreds of
copies of the Congressional Record concern
ing the proceedings of the judicial bill,
with the speeches of Burnes and Hatch
about Jefferson City, were ordered yester-
day and mailed to Missouri.

sourians entertained the House in grea
style for an hour to-day In passing Farmel
Wade's judicial bill. Mr.. Burnes got recog
milton and called up the bill. Mr.. Blanc
solemnly opposed it as an extension of The
powers of the federal courts, and empha
sized his speech with protest from the
Bar Association of Jefferson City" This
was too much for Hatch. He arose, pull
ed up his coat sleeves with let-me-at-hin
expression, and said:
Every poor devil who has to appear
before the federal court has TO travel from
one hundred to two hundred miles and
starve.'
Then Mr.. Hatch gave graphic descrip.
ton Of the bills of fare presented at Jeffer-
son City hotels.
Mr. Burnes followed Mr. Hatch The
Bar Association of Jefferson City," he
said, ''that reminds me of the story OF the
man who wrote book on wolves in Ice

representative. He sits still in his seat
and st Louis, too is silent"
Mr.. ONeiil got up and said he had
heard no protests from st. Louis, and had
therefore said nothing.
"And i may, add" Mr.. Burnes went on,
"That he will vote for the BILL Kansas
City in not Directing; ST. Louis is not
Directing; only poor, miserable, .Old Jefer-
son City is objerting"
PASSED WITH BOOM.
The vote was first taken viva voice, and
was overwhelmingly in favor o; the bill.
Mr.. Bland demanded tellers, and while
Mr.. Wade saw to it that every republican
went down and voted Mr.. Hatch rallied
the democrats. The vote was lS4 to .
Mr. Bland and Mr.. Eden, OF Illinois,
furnishing the negatives.
In a general way it may be sa d that
the bill provides for terms Of the District
and Circuit courts at Hannibal and ST.
Joeeph. and for terms of the District court
at Springfield. The bill divides the state
into two districts. The Eastern District is
composed of the following: ST. Louis,
